I get the cost issues on keeping her up and aftermarket stuff will lower those costs... Gotta pay to play as they say.

I wonder how much your insurance payments would be on a GTR...
That one is insane. I love the end of the video, with the old man going "What the fuck!"Quote:

Yeah those turbos have to be wayyy stressed at that point. I'm sure there's some magic in that car that they aren't explaining. My boy's GeeDeeR, which was built by TopSpeed down in GA, had a full bottom end build(Manley pistons and rods), Shep 2.5 build, Garrett 2871s, and full supporting mods went 9.90s at 140. Mind you he's not a dragracer(which to be honest, it's an R35 doesn't require much effort) and it wasn't set to kill, but still trap speed is trap speed. That car posted above is a time bomb for sure, but an exercise showing how capable this cars are. Badass.
Here's his car. I've piloted this nasty piece of ass, I recommend you try one if you have the means.

Great times!
Likely on FTW Purple for fuel, which makes HUGE gains on the GTR.
I thought you were joking but just heard of FTW Purple.Quote:

Is there a comparison of the FTW E85 vs. E98 (which is the highest ethanol concentration fuel you can legally purchase in the US)??Quote:

I just put I wonder what they blend it with because a few people blend ethanol with methanol for more oxygenation and octane but the funny part is that is even cheaper then straight up e85 just requires more fuel.Quote:
